| Question presented | Whether laws that seek to protect women's and girls' sports by limiting participation to women and girls based on sex violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment? | 1. Whether Title IX prevents a state from consistently designating girls' and boys' sports teams based on biological sex determined at birth? 2. Whether the Equal Protection Clause prevents a state from offering separate boys' and girls' sports teams based on biological sex determined at birth? | Whether the First Amendment overrides antidiscrimination laws when the discrimination furthers the defendant’s views about “diversity,” “equity,” or “inclusion”? |
| Summary | The Court held that Idaho’s law limiting women’s and girls’ school sports teams to biological females does not violate the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. The Court reversed the Ninth Circuit and sent the case back for further proceedings. | The Court held that Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause allow West Virginia to limit girls’ and women’s school sports teams to students classified as biologically female at birth. The Court reversed the Fourth Circuit, ruling for West Virginia and remanding the case. | Rajeh Saadeh challenges the New Jersey State Bar Association’s practice of reserving certain leadership positions for members of specified minority groups. He argues that the set-asides violate New Jersey’s antidiscrimination law, while the association contends that they are protected expressive activity under the First Amendment. |
